This is the same file I sent:

  sh> sha1sum pgbench-continuation-4.patch pgbench-continuation-3.patch
  97fe805a89707565210699694467f9256ca02dab  pgbench-continuation-4.patch
  97fe805a89707565210699694467f9256ca02dab  pgbench-continuation-3.patch

The difference is that your version is mime-typed with a generic

 	Application/OCTET-STREAM

While the one I sent was mime-typed as

 	text/x-diff

as defined by the system in /etc/mime.types on my xenial laptop.

My guess is that with the later your mail client changes the file when 
saving it, because it sees "text".
